WILSON GODFREY, OF NEW YORK, N. Y.

BOTTLE-CASING.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No; 365,513, dated June 28,1887.

Application filed April 16, 1887. Serial N'o.235,073.

To all whom it may concern:

Be, it known that I, WILsoN GODFREY, of the city, county, and State ofNew York, have invented a new and Improved Veneer Casing for Bottles,8nd, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part ofthis specification, in which similar letters of reference indicatecorresponding parts in both the figures.

Figure 1 is a side elevation of my new and improvedveneer-casing; andFig. 2 is a sectional elevation of the same, showing an inclosed bottle.

The invention will first be described in connectionwith the drawings,and then pointed out in the claims.

I first form a cylindrical casing or tube, A, of three-ply veneer unitedat the edges a. At the top of this tube and upon the inside I secure thehoop B, beveled at its inner surface to conform approximately to theshape of the breast of the bottle 0. r

Within the casing or tube A, I-placcathick packing, D of felt or othersuitable material, the hoop B serving to press the packing in closecontact with'the bottle. The top. E of the casing is conical and madeofthree-ply veneer, with the opening E at the apex for the neck of thebottle. Around this opening is secured, by nails or rivets, to the topthe screwthreaded metal ring F to receive the screw-threaded cap G. Thering F is formed with the inclined flange f to fit the sloping outersurface of the top E. The lower edge of the top E is of the samediameter, or thereabout, as the top of tube A, and is provided (Nomodel.)

with the hoop H, formed with the sloping top flange, h, which holds thetop firmly in place. The bottom J is of the same diameter as the tube A,and is provided with the metal hoop J.

In applying the casing to the bottle the top E and tube A are firstunited bysmall nails 1;, driven through the hoop E into the tube, andthese nails also secure the inside hoop B. The packing D is then put inplace, and then the bottle (3 is inserted, and then the bottom J is puton and secured by small nails 73, driven into it through the hoop J andthe casingtube.

To fill or empty the bottle 0 the cap G has simply to be removed, andwhen replaced the bottle is entirely inclosed and very securelyprotected,so that it can be safely shipped without danger of breakage.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is' 1. The tube A, closed at its lowerend-with the bottom piece J, and provided at the top with the conicaltop E, in combination with the hoop B,secured upon the inside of thetube A at or near its upper end, substantially as and for the purposesset forth.

2. The tubular casing A, provided with the hoop B, in combination withthe bottom J, hoop J, conical top E, flanged hoop H, packing D,screw-threaded ring F, and cap G, sub stantially as described.
